Chapter 897: Qin Huairu delivering dumplings on New Year’s Eve
Li Huaide's injury was relatively serious, and it looked like a fresh injury from a recent beating.
Li Huaide is the deputy director of the steel rolling mill. In the third steel rolling mill, there are only two or three people with higher positions than him.
The perpetrator was brave enough to dare to beat Li Huaide in the steel rolling mill.
The figure of He Yuzhu appeared in Zhou Chen's mind involuntarily. He remembered that He Yuzhu beat Li Huaide in the plot because Li Huaide touched Qin Huairu, and it was in the cafeteria, under He Yuzhu's nose.
He Yuzhu had a good impression of Qin Huairu, and he was under his nose, so of course his fiery personality couldn't help it, and he beat Li Huaide straight away.
Although Li Huaide was beaten, he did not dare to say anything. After all, he was the one who attacked Qin Huairu first. If he retaliated against He Yuzhu, it was very likely that He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu would take revenge on him at all costs.
These days, being a hooligan is a very serious crime, so there is no way he would throw away his promising future just to get frustrated and take revenge.
He became the current deputy director of the factory by judging the situation and adding the word "forbearance".
He felt that there would be many opportunities for revenge in the future, so there was no need to get hot-headed just for the sake of anger.
Li Huaide is definitely a villain, but it is undeniable that he is a capable person. Although he does not have many plots in the TV series, apart from the negative behaviors he shows, it can also be seen that he is very capable.
wrist.
He was able to go from being the deputy director of the factory at the beginning to being Director Li later, and ten years later, he was still relying on despicable means to obtain a lot of money and still live a very comfortable life, all because of his own ability.
In general, he is a villain who knows how to work hard and can tolerate it.
Although Li Huaide was not a very good person, Zhou Chen still treated him seriously as a doctor.
During the application of the medicine, Li Huaide screamed in pain. Before taking the medicine and leaving, he told Zhou Chen: "Dr. Zhou, please don't tell anyone else what happened today."
Zhou Chen said: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who talks nonsense."
Li Huaide then left the clinic with peace of mind.
Li Huaide was the last person to see the doctor. Soon after seeing Li Huaide, Zhou Chen left work.
Today is New Year’s Eve, and the festive atmosphere is very strong. Every household on the streets and alleyways is bustling with activity. The sound of firecrackers resounds through the sky, and the sound of children’s play is endless...
Although there is no high technology like it would be a few decades later, the New Year atmosphere is definitely no worse than it was in the past, especially the sound of firecrackers, which he never stopped during his journey.
You know, it's not evening yet. If it were evening or the morning of New Year's Day, it would be even worse.
It’s another year of spending the Spring Festival alone, but Zhou Chen has long been used to it. Having traveled through so many film and television worlds, he has forgotten how many times he has spent the Spring Festival alone.
When I got home, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li next door had already left. They went to their youngest daughter's house to celebrate the Spring Festival and would not come back until the sixth or seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Being able to spend the Spring Festival at his daughter's house shows that this little daughter is quite good. After all, he has lived for so many years and has rarely seen the girl's parents go to their son-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year.
A son-in-law is half a son, just like a daughter-in-law is a daughter. Just listen to it. The longer you live, the more you can understand the importance of blood.
"Zhou Chen, do you want to come to our house to eat together tonight? If you feel embarrassed, just bring some meat and vegetables."
"Third uncle, you didn't earn the Spring Festival couplet money from me, and now you are thinking about my meat again? Can't you be more generous on this New Year's Eve?"
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org]
Because this is the Spring Festival of the first year after Zhou Chen's father passed away, couplets are not allowed. This is a custom passed down from ancient times.
The third uncle didn't care about Zhou Chen's teasing, and said with a smile: "I have always written the Spring Festival couplets in our hospital. Those who are willing to give money will give money, and those who are willing to give some peanuts and melon seeds will be given some peanuts and melon seeds. This is all
Everyone is willing to do so."
The annual Spring Festival couplets in No. 95 Courtyard are written by Yan Bugui. This has been agreed upon, and everyone just gives some money or snacks.
"You really can't make it past thirty?"
"No, New Year's Eve is the Reunion Festival. You and your family are all reunited. What's going on with me?"
"Okay, forget it, but you definitely don't have time to make dumplings by yourself. I'll ask your third aunt to give you a bowl of dumplings later."
"this is OK."
Zhou Chen didn't refuse this time. The customs of celebrating festivals were different in different places, so he followed the local customs.
When he got home, he started cooking. Although New Year's Eve was spent alone, there were still some necessary rituals.
After a while, the third aunt came over with a bowl of dumplings.
"It's not stuffed with meat, just make do with it."
Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't dislike it, so he picked up half a catty of meat and handed it to the third aunt.
"Third aunt, take this meat back with you."
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
The corner of Zhou Chen's mouth twitched, looking at what you said all the time, the meat was in his hands, and he was grinning so happily that he didn't feel any embarrassment at all.
"That's right. During the New Year and the holidays, you come and I go."
Many families are reluctant to eat half a catty of meat, but for Zhou Chen, it is nothing. People can still remember you during the holidays. This is a small favor, and it is natural to repay half a catty of meat.
On the night of New Year's Eve, Zhou Chen cooked six dishes by himself, filled a bottle of wine, and ate and drank leisurely.
It's a pity that there is no TV and no Spring Festival Gala. He actually has money to buy a TV, but in order to keep a low profile, he still endures.
Another part of the reason is that even if you buy a TV now, you can't watch many programs. If you want to know something, you can know it through newspapers, not TV.
On New Year's Eve, except for the sound of firecrackers outside, the courtyard was quieter than usual.
Because many people in the courtyard did not celebrate the festival in the courtyard, and those who celebrated the festival gathered at home and did not come out, so it was quieter than usual.
In the middle courtyard, Jia's family, this is the liveliest family in the courtyard.
In addition to Qin Huairu, her mother-in-law, and three children, there were also the couple from the first man's family, brother and sister He Yuzhu, and the deaf old lady in the backyard.
They had agreed in advance that several families would get together to celebrate the New Year, so their place was very lively.
Bangge's three children were actually happy because they kowtowed to pay New Year greetings and received a lot of New Year's money.
The people at the table were eating, drinking, and chatting lively. As they talked, they reached Zhou's house in the front yard.
It was the aunt who spoke first.
"Originally, we wanted to ask Zhou Chen from the front yard to come with us to celebrate the New Year, but he didn't want to. Now he is probably celebrating the New Year at home alone."
He Yuzhu shouted: "That's what he deserves. I think he is a lone evil star who can defeat his father and his mother..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Huairu patted him: "Silly Zhu, what nonsense is this New Year guy talking about? It's so ugly."
He Yuyu also scolded: "Yes, brother, what you say is too unpleasant. Even if Zhou Chen has a conflict with you, you can't say that to others."
Since the last time she had contact with Zhou Chen, there were some ripples in her heart. Later, she also heard about the conflict between her brother and Zhou Chen, and it was not all Zhou Chen's fault.
He Yuzhu shouted dissatisfied: "I didn't say anything, why are you talking about me for that Zhou Chen?"
"Zhuzhu, they are not speaking for Zhou Chen. It is you who have a problem with what you said. You are saying happy words during the New Year. What do you mean by that? Old lady, what do you think?" The first man said the same thing.
He Yuzhu reprimanded.
The deaf old lady said with a smile: "That child is also a poor child, Zhuzi, what you said is right, but you said the wrong thing."
"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing. I should be punished. I will punish myself with a drink."
He Yuzhu had just finished a glass of wine when Jia Zhang suddenly said: "Although what Silly Zhu said is unpleasant, I think he is right about Zhou Chen. He is not a good person."
Qin Huairu glanced at her mother-in-law without leaving any trace. In fact, Jia Zhang had never had any contact with Zhou Chen. The reason why she was dissatisfied with Zhou Chen was entirely because of her.
The eldest mother said: "I think he is quite good, especially his ability to treat patients. I had a leg pain before, and he gave me a few injections, and it was cured within two days."
"Auntie, Zhou Chen's medical skills are well-known in our factory. Even the factory director only seeks medical treatment from him. Everyone in our factory calls him the Little Miracle Doctor."
As soon as Qin Huairu spoke, Jia Zhang snorted: "I don't believe it. How old is he? What ability can he have?"
Okay, this Jia Zhang is really a chat terminator. Every time she opens her mouth, others don't know how to continue.
…………
After Zhou Chen finished eating and drinking, he cleared the table and prepared to rest.
But at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on his door.
"Who is this thirty-nighter?"
When he opened the door, he saw that it was Qin Huairu.
"Sister Qin, it's so late, is there something wrong?"
Qin Huairu said with a smile: "I know that you will celebrate the New Year alone and will not have time to make dumplings, so why don't I bring them to you?"
Zhou Chen was very surprised when he saw the lunch box Qin Huairu was carrying. He didn't have a good sense of Qin Huairu, but she brought dumplings to him late at night. No matter what the purpose was, the intention was still there.
"It's really troublesome for Sister Qin, so I won't be polite and come in first."
Qin Huairu entered the room and put down the lunch box in her hand. Zhou Chen found a plate and she took out the dumplings one by one.
"You're celebrating the festival alone tonight, don't you feel lonely?"
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
This answer surprised Qin Huairu. He knew that Zhou Chen had been with his father before. After joining the army, it was even less possible for him to spend the holidays alone, so she was surprised.
Zhou Chen didn't favor one over the other. He gave the third uncle's family half a catty of meat before, and now Qin Huairu also gave dumplings. He also gave Qin Huairu half a catty of meat.
"Sister Qin, take it and return it as courtesy."
"What are you doing? This is not what I am doing. Take it back quickly."
Zhou Chen said: "If you are celebrating the New Year, this is what you should do. Give it to your children."
Qin Huairu reluctantly accepted it. After sitting for a while, she said again: "Zhou Chen, I think you should have more contact with the people in the courtyard and spend less time with Xu Damao."
Zhou Chen didn't expect Qin Huairu to say this to him.
"I think people can't all live in harmony with each other. Besides, I haven't made any enmity with anyone in the courtyard. Sha Zhu can barely count as one. As for Xu Damao, isn't he a member of the courtyard?"
"You should understand what I mean. What should I say about Xu Damao? In short, you should have less contact with him."
"I will remember your reminder, thank you."
Zhou Chen naturally knew very well who Xu Damao was. They were just fair-weather friends at best, but he didn't explain it to Qin Huairu. There was no need.
Qin Huairu stayed for a while and left, but to Zhou Chen's surprise, after a while, there was another visitor.
"Why Yuyu?"
"Why, are you surprised to see me? Will I still be able to come back during the New Year?"
Zhou Chen let He Yuyu come in and Qin Huairu came over. He could still understand, but He Yuyu's arrival really surprised him. It seemed like he hadn't seen each other since the last time they met.
"Aren't you afraid of being seen by others when you come to my house this late at night, and then the news will reach the ears of your fiancé, a policeman?"
"I haven't done anything wrong, why should I be afraid? I came to you because of my brother. You beat my brother again a few days ago, right?"
"That's what happened, but do you understand the process?"
"I heard about it, but even if I was the one who provoked him first, your attack was too harsh. His face hasn't recovered yet."
"He deserves it."
"you."
He Yuyu looked at Zhou Chen angrily. When she saw Zhou Chen's expression that was half-smiling but not smiling, her heart suddenly suddenly jumped and she instinctively moved back.
"What are you doing? Are you still afraid of me?"
"How is it possible? Why should I be afraid of you? Zhou Chen, I'm warning you, if you attack my brother so harshly again in the future, don't blame me for being rude to you."
After saying that, she didn't dare to stay any longer and ran away from Zhou Chen's house.
He Yuyu's reaction made Zhou Chen laugh. Apart from anything else, He Yuyu's eyesight was much better than that of her brother He Yuzhu.
After He Yuzhu left, Zhou Chen locked the door from the inside. He knew that something big would happen early tomorrow morning. With He Yuzhu's hatred for him, He Yuzhu would definitely come with Bangge and the others, so he locked the door first.
Keep them from getting in.
Lying on the bed, Zhou Chen connected to the system and found that the progress of the tasks on the system panel had increased to more than sixty, which meant that he had been successfully clocking in these days.
But there is still a long way to go before the ultimate goal of 10,000 days.
That night, he didn't sleep well, because after a while there was a burst of firecrackers, and after a while there was a burst of firecrackers, which made it really difficult to sleep soundly.
After coming to this world, he did not forget to practice martial arts. Unfortunately, more than sixty days had passed, and the Pure Yang Technique he had been practicing still had no sense of energy at all.
It seems that this world should also be an ordinary world, and it is impossible to practice internal skills.
Fortunately, he had been mentally prepared for a long time, and he did not feel disappointed. He had been practicing, and it was just a habit. What if he had a chance to master it?
